that looks sensational Mark.

Btw, could you take a photo of your new brake lines if you ever get a chance? I got some braided lines some time ago, went to change them recently, but the aftermarket lines dont look the same as the factory ones. Had me a bit miffed!

Congratulations to Mark (handbrake) who improved his time at Qld Raceway by over 2 seconds yesterday!! For those who are familiar with QR, Mark ran a 55.5 on the sprint track. You can check out www.timeattack.com.au to see how that compares to other's best times, but it is definitely at the pointy end of the field now!

A sound clip or YouTube vid of the exhaust on start up would be awesome if it's not too much bother :D

here is a run of one of the early tunes. 16 pound of boost only.

Excellent Mark well done.

How do you like the AMS intercooler? How does the size compare to stock?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Shame we didnt meet on Wed arvo at Philip Island...

yeah sorry we didnt get to catch up. I am not that good with cold introductions so didnt manage to chat with many guys I didnt already know! Regarding the intercooler, I wasnt present for the install (phone pic was from the boys in the shop). I know that the intercooler has made the tuning a little more complex but no big deal otherwise. I will get some info together and get back to you.

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
